Mobile Platforms for 2012

Paris, France – March 16th 2012
–DotEmu, developer and publisher focused on bringing
retro games back to life, celebrates its fifth candle this year and
announces two of its 2012 mobile projects.

The Last Express travels to iOS

Created by famed game designer Jordan Mechner, best known for
creating the hit franchise Prince of Persia and his early hit
Karateka, The Last Express was originally released in 1997 and
hailed for its interactive storytelling. This Point & Click
adventure game immerses the player in 1914 aboard the Orient
Express shortly before the beginning of WWI. The game employs
unique gameplay mechanics and is one of the few adventure games to
take place in "real time", offering more than twenty hours of
play.

DotEmu and Jordan Mechner are thrilled to team up to bring back
this artistic and technical masterpiece to a new audience on
ubiquitous platforms.

"The Last Express is unlike any other game I've done. Its
story, characters, and unique game design have stood the test of
time and have won the loyalty of an exceptionally passionate and
committed fan base," said Jordan Mechner, game designer.
"I'm delighted that, thanks to DotEmu, a new generation of
iPhone and iPad gamers will now be able to 'board' the Orient
Express and immerse themselves in a deep, real-time interactive
adventure across Europe on the eve of war. I can't wait!"

Acclaimed by many journalists as "best adventure game ever" the
year of its release,
The Last Express will be back soon on iPhone and
iPad!

Originally released in 1994, this adventure game (also known as
Little Big Adventure) designed by Frédérick Raynal
has become a cult video game! A few years later, DotEmu is proud to
teams up with him to offer players a contemporary version on mobile
phones.
